bird,
he had a wedge laid open, and the darn ball never got more than a few feet off of the ground. The ball hit the carpet and took off running like it was going to be way long, untill it got a few inches from the hole and stopped!!!
All i could say was "WOW"... Actually that was not what i said, but i cant post it on here...  .... roflmbo....

Ah yes.
Ya.
He uses Throwaway there.....he "casts" the clubhead under the ball. This takes compression off the ball (so it doesn't skip forward so hard when it hits the green....it lands soft) and I think adds spin.
You have to try to slide the clubface under the ball.

I would think that would actually decrease the spin birdieman. For the same reason that hackers that have throwaway can't hold hard greens.

I agree it is an amazing shot and there is no way I can figure out how he hits it.
All that spin from under 50 yards. Amazing |

If tiger tried that shot on your local greens it wouldn't react the same.
You'd be surprised how much fairway conditions and green conditions play into spinning the ball.
I can play one course and never have a problem spinning the ball. Then i can play another with closer mown fairways and much nicer greens and i'll have to switch balls cuz i'll spin it off the green.

I agree that course conditions play a large role, but
there is one guy that I play with that regardless of his
lie, he spins the ball a ton.
It does one of two things: It will violently check
or check and dead stop. Obviously it is a crowd pleaser,
but it seems effective when he needs to really control the
ball.
Visually: His swing is smooth and it seems like the
ball gets in the way. It appears that there isn't much
of a varied speed from backwing to followthrough.
The guy could spin a Pinnacle Gold no problem. How??
